KOPER,
Chris (1943-2006)
Avid photographer, master sailor and former Human Resource specialist
died peacefully, having lived with the ravages of Amyotrophic
Lateral Sclerosis for the past 2 years. Chris is survived by
his beloved wife
MargretCOMACK and by his 3 children, Nicola
(Mike BELL,)
Vanessa and
Aidan.Chris was devastated to leave
his beloved granddaughter Wren Kathleen
BELL.
Chris leaves 3 step-children
Shannon (and Jody), Tom, Tannis (and Todd as well as grand_son
Greydon and newborn granddaughter Avery). Chris is mourned in
Cape Town, South Africa by his sisters Lida, Marguerite (and
John) and brother Gerhard (and Pam), cousins Wilfried (and Debbie),
Jacqi (and Steve) and Mieke, as well as his Aunt Lida. Cousins
in Holland will also miss Chris who was a frequent visitor. Chris
was born in Cape Town, South Africa to Jack and Margaret
KOPER
who predeceased him. He grew up speaking Dutch in a family who
loved the outdoors and the natural beauty of their environment.
He was influenced by his father Jack who was an artist, photographer
and a well known dinghy sailor and boat designer. Chris' family
are remembered in South Africa for their sailing expertise and
boat designs and Chris spent his life in competitive sailing
with a variety of boats. Most recently he designed and built
2 sailing dinghies and spent many hours promoting and assisting
others to build and sail these boats in several locations across
the world. Chris came to Canada at the age of 27. He spent many
years employed as a Human Resource specialist and held several
executive level positions with national and world wide accountability.
Chris lived in England and Belgium during his career and was
able to travel extensively around the world, speaking 5 languages,
over the years. Chris was an energetic and capable man who loved
nature, music and art. He spent many occasions hiking and on
canoe trips in northern Ontario with his son Aidan and later
with Margret. He loved to travel and there were frequent trips
to South Africa and Holland to visit family who meant so much
to him. Above all else, Chris had a life long passion for photography
and sailing. As a photographer, he captured beautiful pictures
during his life, always seeing creativity in natural settings.
He left a legacy of thousands of his photographs that he shared
with family and Friends over the past year. Sailing for Chris
was an experience that provided an affinity with the wind, waves
and water and his natural ability to sail in any condition with
confidence and ease was notable. He won many awards over the
years and in recent times loved to race his Hobie Cat with wife
Margret as his crew. Chris loved the community of Friends that
he created through his course work with Landmark Education and
during the past 7 years, his perspective and experience of life
was enhanced with this work. While Chris built a life that he
loved in Canada, his heart always remained in South Africa, a
country that continued to draw him home time after time. He requested
that his ashes be buried in a favourite spot in the mountains
above Cape Town so that his spirit could rest where his heart
always remained. Chris will be remembered and his life celebrated
at a memorial service to be held at Trinity United Church in
Listowel, Ontario on Saturday November 11, 2006 at 2 p.m. The
family will receive Friends at the church one hour prior to the
service, and a reception will follow the service at the church.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Junior Sailing
Program at the Etobicoke Yacht Club, Toronto, Ontario and can
be made through the Eaton Funeral Home, Listowel. Online condolences
